Patna: The cloud of confusion hovered over Patna airport on the second
consecutive day on Monday because of cancellation of pre-booked tickets
by IndiGo and GoAir airlines.
Compared to frequent scuffles between passengers and the airlines employees as seen on Sunday, the situation seemed a bit controlled on Monday. On Sunday, IndiGo and GoAir had either cancelled pre-booked tickets, refunded or adjusted fliers on other flights following a showcause notice served on them by directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA).
Taking a strict stand on the load penalty factor at Patna airport — a situation when at least 20 per cent seats in the aircraft are required to be left unoccupied because of technical reasons to fly safely under short runway and high temperature conditions — the civil aviation regulator had on Friday served a showcause notice on the two airlines for violating the norms in Patna.
Sources in IndiGo and GoAir said most of the passengers exceeding the permissible limit in the aircraft under the load-penalty factor at Patna airport were shifted to other connecting flights and prior intimation regarding the same were given to them.
